It might be desirable to have corresponding rules also for
- exponents of other types, in particular Word, but we can't
- have those rules here (importing GHC.Word or GHC.Int would
- create a cyclic module dependency), and it's doubtful they
+ exponents of other types (e. g., Word), but it's doubtful they
would fire, since the exponents of other types tend to get
floated out before the rule has a chance to fire.
